Selleck floor 'different’ I
By Micki Haller
Senior Hduor_
The dimly lit hall is quiet now, and
it seems typical of all Sclleck halls.
But 6300 floor is a little different.
Some residents believe they have a
ghost named Marie.
“I have ghosts in my house, and I
have ghosts in my floor,” said
Amanda Pursell, who lives in the
south end of the floor.
‘ It came and visited me last night,”
she said.
Pursell said she closed and locked
her door Monday night She said she
pushed it until the latch clicked to
make sure the door was shut
But around 2:30 a.m., the door
slowly swung open. Amanda said her
windows were open, but the door
didn’t open like the wind pushed it It
only opened half-way.
“Someone was holding it,” she
said.
Pursell said she could see there
was no one in the hall, but when she
goi out of bed, the door slammed shut.
This wasn’t the first time the ghost
bothered Pursell, she said.
One Thursday, she threw her key
on her vanity, and watched it fall to
the carpet. Pursell said she was on the
way to a neighbor’s room for pizza, so
she left it. Later, she couldn’t find it.
On Monday, another neighbor,
Wendy Bradley, said she found
Purscll’s key on her desk.
“How it got there, I don’t know,”
Pursell said.
“Amanda’s always losing her
keys, so no one thinks anything of it,”
Bradley said.
Bradley also has had some sirange
experiences with the ghost the floor
calls Marie.
One Sunday, Bradley said, she left
her blue straw hat on her dresser. But
on Monday, she found it in the bushes
next to the 8000 building.
‘ So now wc just blame everything
on Marie,” said Wendy Abbott, an
other resident of 6300.
Abbott has had mysterious
hairdryer episodes with theghosl. She
said she left for class and her hairdryer
turned on while she was gone. Her
neighbor became concerned and got
Kim Grasso, the student assistant for
6300, to open the door.
Another time, the hairdryer turned
on for no apparent reason while she
and her neighbor were in the room.
The red hairdryer, a well-used
General Electric Go-dryer 1200,
seems normal, and Abbott said it
didn’t fall or move to cause it to turn
on spontaneously.
Hairdryers aren’t the only thing.
During floor picture night on April 4,
one of the residents leaned against the
door of a vacant door. The knob
turned and opened. But when the
residents called the SA, the door had
locked again.
“No one’s lived here since the first
week of the semester,” Abbott said,
pointing at the door which had myste
riously opened.
Gras so said she was a witness to
the hairdryer incident.
“I filed some incident reports,” she
said.
During the second hairdryer epi
sode, a month later, she said she heard
the screams of women and the
hairdryer was just sitting on the
counter.
“And it had turned on all by itself,”
Gras so said.
“We went around chanting Hail
Mary’s and the Apostles’ Creed... to
exorcise the ghost,” she said.
Mary Pat Dolata said the ghost
lived in her room for a week. Dolata
was locked into her room for 20
minutes on April 8.
The window was open, she said,
and the door slammed shut, but in
stead of opening when she tried it, it
stayed firmly closed.
She called Grasso, who laughed,
but came to rescue her anyway. The
door was solidly closed, but the door
knob turned. This happened again
that afternoon. Dolata said she also
heard things moving around in her
closet at night.
A maintenance man was called to
file down part of the door latch.
“The new theme for Selleck is,
The SAs will check you in, but they
won’t check you out,”’ she said.
Marie is a “floor joke among the
residents,” Grasso said. jj
“So she’s the one who put my
pajamas in the linen,” Dolata said,
illustrating the tendency to blame
everything on the ghost. j
Grasso said no psychological
problems have resulted from the
“haunting.”
But my door is open to any coun- I
seling that would be necessary,” she I;.
quipped. She said SA’s have no spe- fl
cial training in ghost-busting. ||

ers and non-believers. fl
Manijeh Delalat said she doesn’t fl
believe either way. fl
“But it’s nothing that happened to fl
me — it feels like a joke to me,” she B
said. “I don’t think anything.” j£j
On the other end of the spectrum is j|
Lisa (not her real name). *
“Pete says she wants to be part of [raj
me,” Lisa said about Marie. X
Pete is a Selleck resident who is fl
often on the 6300 floor. X
‘ He’s talked to her. I know most of |K
what they say,” Lisa said. “I can hear B
her.” fl
According to Lisa, Marie is 23, fl
five-foot-three, very petite, with fl
long, black hair. fl
“Shecan be areal bitch,’’Lisa said. B
Lisa said Marie is taking over her If
body. fl
